The Mind Reality Model is the generic layer of everything. It is integration. Th e framework that contains all other frameworks. Parapsychology and Metaphysical level Psychological level Physical level Quantum physical level

The Mind Reality Model is the foundation, the container and the link. It is the study of essence or the nature of all that is - in all, through all and creates all. Mind sciences is the umbrella term that includes all subjects related to the min d. Mind Science is inclusive of : 1. Brain Science because the complete study of the mind includes the study of th e brain as well. Psychology and Neuroscience are interrelated. The metaphysical aspect of the mind is consciousness and the subconscious. The physical aspect of the mind is the brain, the nervous system and the physical senses. 2. Spiritual Science. All things psychological have a spiritual basis behind the m. Reality is ultimately the result of spiritual factors. What relates to the mind is also relates to reality. Mind affects Reality. The o bserver simultaneously plays a part in creating the reality he is observing. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle of consciousness states that no pure measureme nt is possible without creation. Mind Science integrates with Universal Science. Psychology and Physics are corre lated. Developments on the leading edge of modern physics such as quantum mechan ics, the new cosmology and chaos theory continue to fire the imagination with po ssible links between physics and the psyche. A union of psychology and physics se ems to me entirely possible Jung. The Sciences of Mind are Seven. They are Psychology, Neuroscience, NLP, Hypnosis , Philosophy, Metaphysics and Parapsychology. The Seven Mind Sciences cover the corresponding Levels of Reality. - Psychological level (Psychology, NLP, Hypnosis, Philosophy) This is the level we begin when studying the mind. We start primarily by thinkin g about it and contemplating on how it works. Everything subject can be fundamentaly considered as philosophy. We start ily by thinking about something and contemplating on how it works and why so. This is how all science begins. We first have a concept or idea about ing and then only later when the technology is developed can we deal with a more physically scientific way. primar it is someth it in

Philosophy is the study of the most fundamental and general concepts and princip les involved in thought, action, and reality. Philosophy can be considered the v ery first subject of the mind.

When a more definitive and total subject of the mind was developed, it became kn ow as psychology. Psychology comes from two words: psyche and logos. Psyche is the greek word whic h means soul or spirit, loosely translated as mind. Logos means knowledge or stu dy like all logies . The first greek letter psi in psyche is used as the internatio nal symbol for psychology. Hence, Psychology was originally defined as: the stud y of the mind. Psychology is the key mind science because it is the understanding of how percep tion governs behaviour. How we think affects everything else. - Physical Level (Neuroscience) When human technology advanced to a level where we could perform physically scie ntific examination of the brain, that s when the physical counterpart of the mind could be understood. Neuroscience provide a way for us to understand the workings of the mind from a neurological and biological viewpoint. This help us to know that every activity of the mind such as a thought or an emo tion has a corresponding neurological and biological process resulting from it. - Quantum Physical Level (Metaphysics) The is the level where we study the construct of all physical reality. We study all physical phenomena at the most minute level. The quantum level. We know that basically all things consist of matter and energy. And since matter and energy can convert into one another, everything is fundamentally energy. Th e entire universe is made of pure energy. All the laws of physics describe the very nature and characteristics of physical reality. Since all physical reality is an offspring of spiritual reality, the laws of phy sics follow the laws of spirit. Hence the principles of metaphysics are mirrored and understood by the principle s of quantum physics. The reverse is also true. - Parapsychology and Metaphysical level (Metaphysics, Parapsychology) The highest level of the mind of the mind is the psychic level, and the study of this realm is parapsychology. This is the level where the mind is capable of do ing things that seem to be beyond the boundaries of physical possibility. It is the study of phenomena that appear to contradict physical laws and suggest the possibility of causation by mental processes. Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that examines the fundamental nature of all reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, appearance and substance, form and essence. Meta means above, beyond and behind. Metaphysical means beyond the physical realm and into the spiritual realm. The m etaphysical and physical realm are not two separate realities but they are just

different levels of the same reality. To examine the nature of physical reality, we must do so from a level above it. Einstein said that we can never solve a problem in the same level of consciousne ss that it was created with. We have to advance to a higher level in order to ov ercome it. Mind Reality Model Something that exists on one level is reflected on every other level. When you c hange something on one level, you change it on every other level. The rules of t he higher level are above the rules of the lower level. Spiritual always governs physical. Inner always determines outer. Outer is a reflection of inner. The four levels of reality form the model of mind reality. The aim is to prevent isolating the study the mind with a single approach and to work together with a ll the levels in an integrated, holistic and complete way. Complete perspective is complete knowledge and understanding. The four levels are spiritual, mental, physical and quantum. Yet the four are ac tually two, because the mind and spirit are one, and the physical is quantum. Ye t again the two is actually one, because all things physical are manifested from the non-physical. So in essence, all reality is pre-existentially spiritual. There are no separate realities, only different levels of the same reality. When someone new to the field, someone not blinded by the current paradigm walks in, see what no one else sees, and offers a new paradigm. And when the new model solves problems, dilemmas, and answers questions that the current paradigm cann ot, this creates the scientific revolution. - The Structure of Scientific Revolut ions. The ultimate paradigm is the unified paradigm. This is the new Superparadigm. It is the integration of mind science with universal science.

It is the same today as it was from ancient history. So the principles of psychology are fixed and enduring. You will never need to u nlearn what you learn about them. Art being a thing of the mind, it follows that any scientific study of art will

A fundamental understanding of the human psyche is the essential key to successfu l magic - Robert-Houdin (Father of Modern Magic) Understanding psychology doesn t mean you ll always be aware of it or use it. The fi rst step is to understand it, the next step is keeping it in awareness and using it. Psychology consist of subtle differences but big distinctions. It is the little psychological subtleties that make all the difference. The greatest use of all psychology is for self/social awareness, communication, marketing, and personal development. Psychology works on assumptions. Other people s assumptions follow your assumption s. Other peoples expectations are set by you and everything is the result of you r communication. When you assume the appearance of power, people will give it to you. Leaders are self-appointed. Authority is 80%taken and 20% given. Everything is Psychology. Everything is affected by psychological factors and th ose factors govern all that goes on, whether you choose to take control of them or not.

Print This Post P rint This Post In order to understand the workings of the mind from a holistic and integrative point of view, we also need to look into the physiological and biological aspect s of it. Neuroscience is the umbrella term that incorporates all the related subjects tha t study the brain and the nervous system which is basically the extension of the brain s communication network infrastructure. Neurology, neurosurgery, neurotechn ology and other neuro-related subjects fall under the category of neuroscience. Every function of the mind has it s organic member (the brain) to carry it out. Th e mind is spiritual while the brain is its physical counter part. Every thought that we think causes the corresponding neurons to fire off signals across synaps es resulting in brain activities and neuromuscular events. So the better the state of your brain is, the better your mind can function in p hysical reality. The same is vice versa. Mind affects brain, brain affects mind. But of the two, the mind is the superior one. Simply because the mind has the h igher power of causality. The physical level of reality is always subject to the intents of the spiritual level of reality. Every neurological disorder has its roots in psychological conditions. But the p roblem with the field of psychiatry is that they have most of their diagnosis of the mind/brain relationship the other way round. And that s where alot of false i nformation and ineffective methods of dealing with mental life, originates from. When you re looking to drugs as the solution, you re not looking at the real issue o f the problem which is usually something psychospiritual rather than something p

urely biological. Taking drugs to suppress what your body is signaling to you th rough negative symptoms, is simply just a way of temporality masking the problem s. The reason why side effects occur even severe ones when a person takes psychiatr ic drugs is because the body is rejecting such chemicals as it is trying to brin g to awareness certain problems in a person s life that he needs to deal with and not escape by taking drugs. The worst case is when a patient has to spend a lifetime of medication and never getting to face the real issue which he should confront and deal with in order to learn and grow from it. The best way to deal with any situation is always from a holistic way, and in th e right order as well. When you work with a situation from a higher level, it ma y be resolved long before even needing to proceed to the lower levels. Having the awareness of how interrelated things affect one another from both sid es is the power of total perspective. Always remember, the mind is above the bra in. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ NLP - Systematic Model for Creating Change Posted by Enoch Tan - Share this article with friends! Print This Post P rint This Post Neuro Linguistic Programming is the study of how the mind (neuro) is influenced by language (linguistics, both verbal and non verbal) and how to organize (progr amming) it to function in a certain way. NLP is the science of running conscious ness as a program. In NLP, the term State is the combination of a person s internal representations a nd physiology. The internal representations are what s going on in his/her mind which are the tho ughts (imagery, conversations, sensations), the positive or negative association s involved, the will and the intent. The physiology is his/her physical dynamics such as posture, composure, bodily m ovement, balance and biological conditions such as heartrate, breathing, facial expression, muscle tension and so on. NLP teaches you that you can control consciousness by adjusting your mental subm odalites such as brightness of picture, loudness of sound, intensity of feeling in your imagination or memory. NLP also teaches that mind and body are of the same cybernetic loop. You cannot change one without affecting the other. Which means by changing your mental stat es, you will affect your physiology and by changing your physiology you will aff ect your mental states. Memory and imagination are the things that bring a person to the past, the futur e as well as any other places or realities and allow him/her to experience all t hose things in the very present moment and place that he/she is in. They have th e very power to change our states. The perception we have about a situation is the way we frame it. When we reframe the situation, we change our perception and the meaning of it. Positive reinforcement of neuro-associations to desired behavior perpetuates it

while negative reinforcement changes behavior. Conflicting neuro-associations is the source of self sabotage. NLP approaches the study of the mind and reality in terms of models. Basically e very perspective and framework of looking at things is a model. The model is the structure by which all the concepts, meanings, information are put together in well-connected and orderly fashion. It creates the workability to understand and manipulate all things within its framework of rules and systems. Every person sees the world in his/her own unique way. Reality exists both in th e world as well as in our perception of it. The world is the territory, our perc eption of it is the map. The map is not the territory. My map is not your map. O ur maps can be similar in many ways but yet very different in some ways. We each have our own individual model of reality. By refining our model, we refi ne our understanding. The two invisible forces that govern rld or World view. Our state governs e our model of the world governs our model of the world also affects our all we do are our State and Model of the wo our actions and behavior in the moment whil long term life choices and experiences. Our states.

The truth about States in NLP is really all about being in or out of alignment w ith your Higher Self. When you are in alignment, you experience all your desired states such as happiness, confidence, freedom, joy, peace, fulfillment, empower ment. When you are not in alignment, you experience all your undesired states su ch as worry, fear, anxiety, uncertainty, weakness, frustration, depression and d isempowerment. So in essence, there are only two states, a state of alignment an d a state of misalignment. NLP, as a model of human functioning, takes a very different attitude from some of the old psychologies. In NLP, we do not start from the assumption (and what a n assumption it is!) that people are broken. No. Instead, we assume the opposite that people work perfectly well, that they have all the resources that they need , and that the only problem isn t with them, but with their programming. NLP is the foundational framework for understanding all psychology. It forms a frame of reference for the switching, manipulation and containment of all other frames of reference. It is the frame of reference for working with all other frames of reference. Working from a foundation of NLP allows you to alter and refine your states unti l they are most suitable in creating the results you desire. NLP isn t concerned with the content of experience but with its structure. Once we know the structure of experience, we can recreate the magic. In modeling, we model the process not the end result. The highest levels of NLP are the Spiritual level, Reality level and Identity le vel. Spirit is consciousness. What you are conscious of defines your reality which in turn influences your sense of self. The self-image is the foundational level where everything else is determined upo n. The subconscious works hard to maintain and protect the self image. It uses it a s the blueprint of what to be. So if someone sees themselves as being successful and happy, they will subconsciously be directed and compelled towards actions t

hat will lead to this. Anything else would lead to subconscious discomfort, whic h you don t want. If you don t think you really deserve love, success, or abundance you usually don t t ake the necessary risks to create it. And, if it falls in your lap, you often sa botage it because reality doesn t match your internal self-image. So bringing to awareness your beliefs about yourself is all important in order t o change what isn t empowering, so that every level of your life will be transform ed positively at will. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hypnosis - Control Consciousness with Suggestion Posted by Enoch Tan - Share this article with friends! Print This Post P rint This Post Hypnosis is simply the manipulation of consciousness. It focuses your awareness on what is being suggested and takes you on a trail. It becomes deeper and more intense in a gradual way. It deals with the imagination. All hypnosis is suggestion. The suggestion can take place through verbal or non verbal communication. The co mmunication can be through words, body language and environmental signals. Hypnosis is directing the attention in order to produce intended states and expe riences. Hold you hand infront of you. Imagine that it is frozen in space and you can t mov e it. Try moving it and feel as though you really can t move it. Really pretend to yourself that you just can t move your arm because it is stuck before you. In tha t moment it seems so real to you doesn t it? That is how all hypnosis works. It is fantasy and make belief. No one can hypnot ize you to do anything against your will. You are always willing to play along w ith what is being suggested. All hypnosis is self hypnosis. Description is experience. People will experience something as your are describi ng it to them. The subconscious mind doesn t distinguish between what s real and the imaginary. If you can imagine something in your mind and hold that idea for long, you will sta rt to experience it s effects in actual reality. This is the power of all hypnosis . Tonality is critical throughout hypnosis. Stressing a different word each time y ou say the same sentence can change the meaning entirely. The introduction of a slight change in tone or a small word can affect the meaning so much that the re ceiver might not get the message intended by the sender. A waking trance is a concentration of attention. You are focused on something be fore you, to the exclusion of virtually all else. It s no different than being abs orbed in a good movie. Or being riveted by a good book. Whenever you read a fasc inating book, you are engaged in a mild trance. Because your eyes are open, this state is called a waking trance. Hypnotists always arrange the environment such that it naturally favors their ou tcome. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Philosophy - The very first subject of the Mind Posted by Enoch Tan - Share this article with friends! Print This Post P rint This Post The term philosophy comes from the Greek word F???s?f?a (philo-sophia), which mean s love of wisdom .The Penguin Dictionary of Philosophy defines it as the study of th e most fundamental and general concepts and principles involved in thought, acti on, and reality . Thales believed that there was an underlying unified system that could explain a ll things. He believed that all things are comprised of an active or alive core, t hat water was the medium common to everything, that things change to and from an d into each other, in a rational system of repetitive cycles. Thales relied on this idea of unified rational repetitive cycles to make the fir st exact prediction of the date of an eclipse. He also predicted the size of an olive crop harvest, benefiting personally by standing by with a large supply of wine presses to sell. More importantly, though, Thales was the first to do both of these using observa tion and deduction only, without referencing an outside god, goddess, religious or scientific system. Immanuel Kant wrote his Critique of Pure Reason (1781/1787) in an attempt to rec oncile the conflicting approaches of rationalism and empiricism and establish a new groundwork for studying metaphysics. What were once philosophical pursuits have evolved into the modern day fields of psychology, sociology, linguistics, and economics (among others). Just like psychology (science of psyche) which has evolved into a field of its o wn from philosophy, metaphysics can also be considered a realm of study in its o wn class because it is the science of spirit. Everything subject can be fundamentaly considered as philosophy. We start ily by thinking about something and contemplating on how it works and why so. This is how all science begins. We first have a concept or idea about ing and then only later when the technology is developed can we deal with a more physically scientific way. primar it is someth it in

Even from the very early ages in history, the mind was talked about by Plato thr ough his concept of the world of thoughts. Socrates emphasized the importance of the mind through his passionate discussions regarding reasoning and introspecti on. Philosophy can be considered the very first subject of the mind. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Metaphysics - Beyond the Physical into the Spiritual Posted by Enoch Tan - Share this article with friends! Print This Post P rint This Post All things are governed by universal laws, whether physical or spiritual. In eve rything there is order. There is a system of design by infinite intelligence. He is a being known as God and many other names. The universal laws are simply an extension of his being. Meta means above, beyond and behind. Metaphysical means beyond the physical realm and into the spiritual realm. The m

etaphysical and physical realm are not two separate realities but they are just different levels of the same reality. Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that examines the fundamental nature of all reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, appearance and substance, form and essence. To call one a metaphysician in this traditional, philosophical sense indicates n othing more than his or her interest in attempting to discover what underlies ev erything. To examine the nature of physical reality, we must do so from a level above it. Einstein said that we can never solve a problem in the same level of consciousne ss that it was created with. We have to advance to a higher level to deal with i t powerfully. All things psychological have a spiritual basis behind them. Reality is ultimate ly the result of spiritual factors. The Metaphysics was divided into three parts, now regarded as the traditional br anches of Western metaphysics, called (1) ontology, (2) theology and (3) univers al science. There were also some smaller, perhaps tangential matters: a philosop hical lexicon, an attempt to define philosophy in general and several extracts f rom the Physics repeated verbatim. Ontology is the study of existence; it has been traditionally defined as nce of being qua being . the scie

Theology means, here, the study of God or the gods and of questions about the di vine. Universal science is supposed to be the study of so-called first principles, whi ch underlie all other inquiries; an example of such a principle is the law of no n-contradiction: A = A, A not = B, Not both A and B. In other words, the element ary laws of logic as Aristotle knew them. There is an absolute science to all things spiritual and it isn t mysterious at al l. It is only mysterious according to the level of awareness we have. The higher our level of awareness is, the more the mystery is resolved. Mind Reality Metaphysics is Mind Science, Universal Science and Spiritual Science. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Parapsychology - Highest level of Mind is Psychic Posted by Enoch Tan - Share this article with friends! Print This Post P rint This Post Parapsychology is the study of the evidence of mental awareness or influence of external objects without interaction from known physical means. Most objects of study fall within the realm of mind-to-mind influence (such as telepathy), mind-toenvironment influence (such as psychokinesis) and environment-to-mind (such as clai rvoyance). This is the level where the mind is capable of doing things that seem to be beyo nd the boundaries of physical possibility. Telepathy, psychokinesis, clairvoyanc e, precognition and extra sensory perception (ESP) are topics of paranormal psyc hological phenomena. It is phenomena that appear to contradict physical laws and suggest the possibility of causation by mental processes. The three kinds of psychic ability are great but there is a far more greater use

of the mind. Reality Creation is the greatest of all psychic powers. The Law of Attraction attracts by creating and creates by attracting. It pulls w hat you focus on to you, or it pulls together the quantum field to manifest it f or you. Focus collapses the wave function into particles and crystalizes the sea of infinite possibilites into something tangible and experiential. To create your reality, consistenly visualize and affirm what you want happen. What most people consider to be Magic could be more properly referred to as Mani festation. Manifestation is the use of the imagination to manifest the object of desire into physical reality in accordance with Universal Laws and it is the fu ndamental basis of all creation. Magic in its absolute form is purely mental. Magic is the control of the visible world by invisible means or creating and making things happen with the powers of the mind . Modern science may understand it as th e manipulation of quantum forces to reshape the matrix of the reality continuum . When you understand that at a quantum level everything without exception is Ener gy that is influenced and shaped by the immense powers of the Mind, you will kno w that anything and everything truly is possible. Science is at the very earliest stages of understanding entanglement, and there is much yet to learn. But what we ve seen so far provides a new way of thinking ab out psi. No longer are psi experiences regarded as rare human talents, divine gi fts, or powers that magically transcend ordinary physical boundaries. Instead, psi becomes an unavoidable consequence of living in an interconnected, entangled ph ysical reality. Psi is reframed from a bizarre anomaly that doesn t fit into the n ormal world - and hence labeled paranormal - into a natural phenomenon of physic s. Entangled Minds +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge Posted by Enoch Tan - Share this article with friends! Print This Post P rint This Post Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Prudence, Intelligence and Spirituality. Wisdom is Insight. The ability to see into the underlying nature of a thing and to discern it s true essence. To see something for what it really is. To look past appearance into substance. To read between the lines. To know the truth of a ma tter. Intelligence is how well one thinks, which is dependent on how much one knows. T he more wisdom, understanding and knowledge you have, the more intelligent you a re. True Intelligence is not just academic, factual, worldly or social intellige nce alone. True intelligence is encompassing of all intelligences. Understanding is knowing the meaning or reason of a thing. It is about knowing w hy something is, and how it is so. Prudence is foresight. The ability to see into the future of thing and to know t he possible outcomes and its effect. It enables you to make decisions ahead of t ime that will lead things in the direction you want them to go. Knowledge is the substance that wisdom, intelligence, understanding and prudence operate with. It isn t just the amount you know. How a specific knowledge works w ith everything else you know determines whether it strengthens or weakens your w isdom, understanding and prudence.

All wisdom, understanding, knowledge and prudence increases your ability to know what is going on. The more you can stay aware of how your mind creates your reality and environmen t, the more CONSCIOUS and AWARE you can become. Which will in turn lets you take back control over yourself and every area of your life. Spirituality is about beingness. It is about the essence of who you are within. When you operate from a position of beingness, you are not playing by anyone s rul es or reasons but your own. You are real and authentic. Wisdom and Understanding Pr 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy ge tting get understanding.

Ecclesiastes 10:2 A wise man s heart is at his right hand; but a fool s heart at hi s left. 1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. Col 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will i n all wisdom and spiritual understanding; God made animals for us to learn from them, and not for them to learn from us. Proverbs 30 24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise: 25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer; 26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; 27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; 28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings palaces. All verses are taken from the Kings James Version Bible. The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of understanding - The Kybalio n The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so. - The Bible Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more pr ecious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; tho se who lay hold of her will be blessed. By wisdom the LORD laid the earth s founda tions, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.

Print This Post P rint This Post Everything follows order. There is a hierarchy to everything. The hierarchy chan ges from one perspective to another. Something that exists on one level is reflected on every other level. When you c hange something on one level, you change it on every other level. The rules of t he higher level are above the rules of the lower level.

The highest level of reality is the mental level. The mental and spiritual level are one and the same. The mental level defines every level. Seeing from the highest level is all you need because the mental level governs a ll other levels. The ultimate nature of reality is mental. See both sides of an argument and understand how each relates and integrates wit h the other. See things from multiple dimensions and unify them into a whole. Every aspect is part of the whole. Every step depends on the one before it. Negl ect one function and the whole does not work as well as it should. Everything connects with everything else, nothing stands entirely alone. All thi ngs are related to one another in an inseparable and unified way. Everything has a core, the core leads to everything else. The core is the purest structure within all structures. It is essence structure. Everything has its corresponding expression on every level. The same thing exist in different forms from one level to the next. Everything can be defined to the core. All things have their most simplified and concise state. Everything is unified and simplified. The best structure is the structure that integrates and simplifies everything. I t is the most ordered and clearest organization of things. Nothing is complex, everything is simple. It all depends how it is organized. Th e complex is made simple through organization. All organization is organization of mind. When something is better organized, th ere is more effectiveness and efficiency. There are only two worlds, the world within and the world without. All things re late to one or the other. What relates to one relates to the other. Something can be defined even better and better. Do not be stuck in a certain st ructure that keeps you from improving. Be formless, be changeable structure. Everything is dual and everything is one. True Oneness does not exclude duality but includes it. Arrived, Arriving, Not Arr ived can all exist simultaneously. It is not about having arrived . It is about bein g everywhere at once. Concepts create structure to help you define essence. What defines confines, wha t confines defines. They are both good and bad. They are neither good nor bad. You need to use the form to understand the formless and to use the formless to g uide the form. Just because you come to learn of a truth that is opposite of the first doesn t me an you must exclude the first. Both can be used at different context of workabil ity. Sometimes by moving away from something, you are actually moving closer to it. B y stepping out of form or structure, you get closer to the essence of truth. You move in one direction from one layer, but you re moving in the reverse direction

on the layer beneath it. Move away from a continent and you end up reaching it a t the other side of the globe. Extremes meet. All paradoxes can be reconciled. All truths are but half truths. It is all about choosing the appropriate one to use for each situation. In every rule, there are exceptions. Complete perspective is complete understanding and truth. Every piece of the puz zle is important. You are never too far away from error. It s only a few degrees away from the truth . You are never too far away from the truth either. It is only a few degrees bac k. Inspiration has a holistic nature. Inspiration and creativity are one. Creativit y is the ability to make connections, relate truths, combine ideas and integrate concepts into a single whole. Creativity combines existing forms to create new ones that are differentiated yet complete, or complete yet differentiated. The most important part of the work is the integration. All the smaller parts ha ve no purpose except in how they fit into the bigger picture. When one sees the bigger picture, one can go into the individual components and fine tune them app ropriately. The greater truth should be able to hold other truths within it. If not, it is n ot the greater truth. Truth is that which can fit into everything else. How do you know what is true? Larger concepts of truth can hold smaller concepts of truth. Larger concepts of truth are always grander, more all encompassing, and can include smaller concept s of truth in a way that allows them to be.

Print This Post P rint This Post The secret of speed. Let speed be your supreme advantage. It is all about speed. Speed is a state of mind. All speed is mental. Think speed and you manifest spee d. When you have speed you are able to do things quicker and accomplish lots more f aster. You are able to act, think, plan, respond, learn, perceive, realize, analyze, mo ve, adapt, switch, develop, understand, decide, control, coordinate, communicate quicker and progress faster. Since failure leads to success, the idea is to fail as fast as possible and as m any times as necessary in order to achieve larger amounts of success much faster . The key to gaining speed is to set things in such a way that gives you greater e fficiency in doing things.

Put yourself in the speed state of mind with consciousness moving from one thing to the next without stopping and sometimes even skipping. A state of non attach ment, formlessness, free flowing, changeability, without a care, acting at will without hesitation according to desire. The Great Secret of Speed is Organization. The more organized one is, the faster one can go. Get things organized in such a way that enables you to execute as f ast as possible. Speed depends on economy of motion. More ease, less stress. Make no unnecessary motion. Let your moves be executed in the shortest, most direct and swiftest way possible. In previewing and preselecting, do it as fast as possible because not everything is what you want and you ll want to find what you want quickly so you can focus o n them first. For most rapid perception, attention must be at its maximum focus on the area of the thing to be perceived. You must intend to see everything you can in the mom ent of looking. You can perceive faster by slowing down time in your consciousne ss. It is not time that slows down but you that slows down. See in your mind s eye and memory things slowing down. Like a picture frame frozen from a movie in mot ion. It is the way you experience time slowing down or stopping when you see a b eautiful person of your dreams. You must not fear but be calm and have a heighte ned state of awareness. Sometimes being more efficient means needing to sacrifice what s good or even what s great for what s best. Speed requires inner stability, peace, at rest and stillness at the core. Have a sense of certainty, focus, power and purpose. Having clarity of purpose, intention and action. There is only one purpose n. to wi

And to take only the most effective actions. And to focus only on where it is mo st effective to do so. And to act quickly at the right time. Precision is all important. You need to act with stability without fear and worr y. Freshness of mind allows you to engage every moment powerfully. Make each shot y our first shot. Make every move your first move. Make every game your first game . You need to be accurate in order to be truly fast. Do no be trapped by expectati ons. An encounter can happen any moment. Be aware of the little things that get in your way and be sure to avoid them. Everything can be done in a controlled manner. When you have mastery, you will b e able to act at maximum speed with complete control. Have the quickness, but also have the inner confidence to muster the conviction to do so. There are those who have the speed, but lack conviction or vice versa. Possessing the ability to be quick but lacking conviction would only impede you r actions. Speed can only be fully utilized with conviction. It is not the length of experience but the intensity that matters. Intense exper

iences can cause you to learn a tremendous amount. The way to dramatic growth an d increase is to keep finding and putting your attention into things that can ca use dramatic change in your consciousness and actions. The greater the impact it makes the better. This is the secret of advancing very quickly. The secret of succeeding very quickly is to quit like crazy. Quit what you feel isn t working for you, or what you find isn t what you want or like. Don t be a fool p ersisting in what you don t believe really suits you. Quit faster, give up. Keep t rying new things and testing. Persist only in that which you believe you can mak e to work for you. Edison was a super quitter. He quit ten thousand times rapidl y until he finally found success. Look for that which is easiest to do, that can take you in the direction you wan t to go. In this mentality there is no quitting, there is only testing. Test as short as possible to get the necessary data you need and then make the next test . The difference is quitting out of strength or quitting out of weakness. If you q uit because you re just lazy or not willing to learn, then you re quitting out of we akness. If you quit because you ve determined that you re headed in the wrong direct ion, then you re quitting out of strength. And you should quit as fast as you poss ibly can, so that you can win at something else. Winners never quit out of weakn ess, and quitters never even get far enough to quit out of strength. You can quite happily spend time trying out new things only to see them flop. Al l it takes is one success, and you can enjoy all the rewards it brings to you. B e prepared to try three things and two are flops but one is the success you are looking for. Keep moving on to the next, don t stop at any place for longer than you need. Quit while you re ahead, and move on to the next venture. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Secret of Posted by rint This It is all You will it. Power Power Enoch Tan - Share this article with friends! Print This Post P Post about power. You are either in a state of power or a state without it. always work far better from a position of power than from the lack of is the ability to do or the capacity to act.

Awareness is power, the more you have it, the more power you have over every are a of life. Perception is the key to solving all problems. Understanding the prob lem dissolves the problem. Awareness is power because awareness gives you choice. Choice is an illusion whe n it is created by those in control for those who are not. To be in control, you must know. You must understand how things work and know what is going on. You n eed awareness to make conscious choices. Awareness is the first step, the second step is change. You should understand wh at you intend to change and the reasons behind it. Knowledge brings awareness th erefore knowledge is power. All of life is a learning experience for you to beco me all you can be. The opposite of fear is a sense of power. Fear is feeling powerless. When you fe el powerful, you are fearless. Fear is power being projected outside of us. If you believe you have no power ov er something, you become afraid it can harm you. Doubt is not believing in our p

ower to create a desired outcome for a situation. It is all based on belief. Bel ief based on awareness or ignorance. From a reality creation perspective, fear and doubt can become two of your best friends. When you re feeling afraid or powerless, or feeling doubt about the outco me of a situation, it s a chance to step back and say: Aha, here is another area fo r me to reclaim my power. Fear and doubt are transformed from something which blo cked you from achieving your goals, to friendly advisors who wave bright orange flags at any place in your life where you don t believe in your own power. There is wonderful inherent power within us all, and there is never any sufficie nt cause for fear, except ignorance. All mistakes are but the mistakes of ignora nce. Knowledge gaining and consequent power is what determines growth and evolut ion. The recognition and demonstration of knowledge is what constitutes power, and th is power is spiritual power, and this spiritual power is the power which lies at the heart of all things; it is the soul of the universe. This knowledge is the result of man s ability to think; thought is therefore the g erm of man s conscious evolution. When man ceases to advance in his thoughts and i deals, his forces immediately begin to disintegrate and his countenance graduall y registers these changing conditions. Everyone that possesses the power to think has the power to overcome ignorance a nd evil. The pain that we suffer from doing evil are but the lessons of experien ce, and the object of the pain is to make us realize our ignorance. You can t think of everything and produce all knowledge yourself as fast as you ca n by using other people s minds, thinking and knowledge. Unifying knowledge of oth ers and your own is the best way to achieve greater awareness in the most effic ient way. It is the fastest possible way to gain power. It s all about speed and p ower. The Secret of Power - All Power Is Mental. The greatest power in the universe is psychic power. Mind controls everything. Think power and you manifest power. Th e secret of power is consciousness of power. All power is from within, and is absolutely within your control. No power is wit hout. Everything that happens without is happening within. All of reality is in your mind. The Magic is in Believing. Belief is power. All game is inner game. All control is self control. When you are in control of your inner world, you are in control of your outer world. If all power is mental, then the greatest knowledge is mental knowledge. Knowled ge is power, therefore mental knowledge is mental power. What people need is a helping mind rather than a helping hand. Since your mind i s the stronger one, choose to lead instead of follow. You follow only when you a re passive. There is only one Force, Mental Force. There is only one Power, Mental Power. Th ere is only one Influence, Mental Influence. Mind is force, Energy is force. Use the Mind to direct the Energy with the Will. Force directing force directing fo rce. That is the Chain of Influence. Mind is the most changeable aspect in any environment. A thought or idea always

precedes form. Things at higher frequency are more easily changed than at lower rates of vibration. Because it is the most changeable, it has the greatest power to change everything else. The same characteristics it possess is the same char acteristics of its power. The nature of its being is the nature of its power. Po wer and Being are one. Mind is the most responsive medium to thought waves. All of us are affected by the mental forces of our environment. There is no one that can remain neutral to influences. If the environment you are in is not help ful, it will be harmful. That is why a change of position will often do a person a great deal of good. You can mentally change the vibrations of a place from he avy and discordant to harmonious ones if it is of enough importance to you to al ter it rather than to endure or escape it. The Great Secret of Mental Power is Concentration. The difference in concentrati on explains the difference in the manifestation of mental power among men. The M ost powerful fighter, is an ordinary man with laser precision focus. The highest forms of energy, force or power are manifested by bringing the force to a focus, center, or common point thereby directing to that point the entire energy employed, instead of allowing it to become dissipated over a larger area. The power of steam, which manifests great power by being forced to discharge it self through a small point or opening instead of being permitted to spread itsel f widely in the air. The same law applies to gunpowder, which manifests force by its gases being compelled to escape through the small gun-barrel instead of spr eading in all directions, which it would do if unconfined. Mental Force operates best when it is concentrated. The secret of Mental Concentration lies in the control of attention, and the con trol of attention lies in the exercise of the Will. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Self Mastery depends on Powers of Concentration Posted by Enoch Tan - Share this article with friends! Print This Post P rint This Post You develop your faculties of self-mastery in proportion to the extent you succe ed in developing your powers of concentration. Watch the next person you see that has the reputation of being a strong characte r, a man of force. Watch and see what a perfect control he has over his body. Th en watch just an ordinary person. Notice how he moves his eyes, arms, fingers; n otice the useless expenditure of energy. These movements all break down the vita l cells and lessen the person s power in vital and nerve directions. It is just as important for you to conserve your nervous forces as it is the vital forces. The mind is associated with muscle and nerve. When you steady your nerves and mu scles, you steady your mind, but let your nerves get out of order and your mind will become erratic and you will not possess the power of direction, which, in o ther words, is concentration. If the heart flutters, the circulation is not regular, and when the lung action is uneven, the mind becomes unsteady and not fit for concentration. This is why controlled breathing is very important as a foundation for physical health. The secret of controlling your emotions is in controlling your breathing. Your main physiological life function is your respiratory system. You must not only concentrate your mind, but also the action of the eyes, ears a nd fingers. Each of these contains miniature minds that are controlled by the ma ster engineer. You will develop much quicker if you thoroughly realize this.

The next time you feel yourself becoming irritable, use your will and be patient . This is a very good exercise in self-control. It will help you to keep patient if you will breathe slowly and deeply. If you find you are commencing to speak fast, just control yourself and speak slowly and clearly. Keep from either raisi ng or lowering your voice and concentrate on the fact that you are determined to keep your poise, and you will improve your power of concentration. Any exercises that give you better control of the ears, fingers, eyes, feet, hel p you to steady your mind; when your eye is steady, your mind is steady. One of the best ways to study a person is to watch his physical movements, for, when we study his actions, we are studying his mind. Because actions are the expression s of the mind. As the mind is, so is the action. If it is uneasy, restless, erra tic, unsteady, its actions are the same. When it is composed, the mind is compos ed. Concentration means control of the mind and body. You cannot secure control over one without the other. The real benefit of physical cultivation is that when you learn to control the b ody, you are gaining control over the mind. Always observe what you are doing wi th your body and you will know what is happening with your mind. According to the principle of correspondence, there is mental muscle just as the re is physical muscle. The more you use your will, the stronger it becomes and t he less effort you need to assert for the same use over time. Unlike things on t he physical level, things on the mental level can be built up almost immediately depending on the mind of the user. Use your mental forces so that they will grow and develop. Remember that everyth ing you do is the result of mental action, therefore you can completely control your every action. Nothing is impossible for you. Many people who seem to lack ambition have sluggish minds. They are steady, pati ent and seemingly have good control, but this does not say they are able to conc entrate. These people are indolent, inactive, slow and listless, because they la ck energy; they do not lose control because they have little force to control. T hey have no temper and it therefore cannot disturb them. Their actions are stead y because they possess little energy. The natural person is internally strong, e nergetic and forceful, but his energy, force and strength, thoughts and physical movements are well under his control. If a person does not have energy, both mental and physical, he must develop it. If he has energy which he cannot direct and hold to a point he must learn to do so. A man may be very capable, but, unless he Wills to control his abilities, th ey will not do him any good. Energy creation and control are all purely mental. The first step is to summon u p lots of energy. The second step is to focus it. Control is concentrated power. The more attention you can capture from someone, the more attention you have to manipulate. The more influence you have over them. The one that stands up like a man and nd eyes always commands attention. In ose with whom he comes in contact. He h that causes opposition to melt away has control over the muscles of his face a his conversation, he can better impress th acquires a feeling of calmness and strengt before it.

The more energy you can summon up within yourself, the more energy you have to d irect and the more magnetic influence you have. You can gain energy from external stimulus such as music, dance, martial art and video or you can gain it within from imagination and memory.

Raising your vibrations polarizes yourself more and more on the postive and incr eases your magnetic power. Success depends on Well Concentrated Efforts Posted by Enoch Tan - Share this article with friends! Print This Post P rint This Post The Successful Lives Are the Concentrated Lives. The utterly helpless multitude that sooner or later have to be cared for by charity, are those that were never able to concentrate, and who have become the victims of negative ideas. Concentration means success, because you are better able to govern yourself and centralize your mind; you become more in earnest in what you do and this almost invariably improves your chances for success. He who does not rule himself is no t a success. The person that can direct his energies and hold them at work in a concentrated manner controls his every work and act, and thereby gains power to control other s. He can make his every move serve a useful end and every thought a noble purpo se. When you can control yourself you can control others. You can develop a Will tha t will make you a giant compared with the man that lacks Will Power. Try out you r Will Power in different ways until you have it under such control that just as soon as you decide to do a thing you go ahead and do it. When you learn how to concentrate and reinforce your thought, you control your m ental creations; they in turn help to mould your physical environment, and you b ecome the master of circumstances and the ruler of your kingdom. Success depends on well-concentrated efforts. You must use every mental force yo u can master. The more these are used the more they increase. Therefore the more you accomplish today the more force you will have at your disposal with which t o solve your problems tomorrow. By attending to each day s work properly you devel op the capacity to do a greater work tomorrow. It is this gradual development th at makes possible the carrying out of big plans. Tackle everything with a feeling that you will utilize all the power within you to make it a success. This is the kind of concentrated effort that succeeds. Never think of the ways in which weak or sickly people do things; always think o f the way strong people do things. Spend your leisure time in thinking about the Strong Way, until you have a good conception of it, and always think of yoursel f in connection with the Strong Way of Doing Things. A man who thinks Energy manifests Energy. The man, who thinks Courage manifests courage. The man who thinks, I can and I will, gets there , while the I can t man t. You know that to be true. Now, what causes the difference? Thought - just plai n thought. But why? - Just because it cannot help itself. Action follows as the natural result of vigorous thinking. You think in earnest, and action does the r est. Thought is the greatest thing in the world. To succeed in business believe that it will be successful, assert that it is suc cessful, and work like a beaver to make it so. Difficulties soon melt away befor e the courageous. One man of courage can fire with his spirit a whole army of me n, whether it be military or industrial, because courage, like cowardice, is con tagious. You first clearly picture what is wanted and then you concentrate on getting it. Have absolute faith that your desires will be realized. Believe that it will ac gets

cording to your belief be fulfilled. Never, at this time, attempt to analyze the belief. You don t care anything about the whys and wherefores. You want to gain t he thing you desire, and if you concentrate on it in the right way you will get it. A Caution. Never think you will not succeed, but picture what is wanted as a lready yours, and yours it surely will be. Hold the ideal in mind until your vision has been made real. Give no thought to anything that has no place in the absolute. We can only see what already exists in the objective world, but what we visualize, already exists in the spiritual w orld, and this visualization is the substance of what will one day appear in the objective world, if we are faithful to our ideal. Never let another s opinion affect you; he cannot tell what you are able to do; he does not know what you can do with your forces. Others have power only accordin g to the power you give them. In everything, never allow yourself to be attached. To be attached means to be p owerless because what you attach yourself to, you give your power to it. When yo u look to outside sources to bring you fulfillment, you are giving your power aw ay. When you are looking to something outside yourself for power and happiness, you are making something other than your true self your source. You may think that you don t have power in some areas of life whether be it with p eople or situations, but you can have power in every area and every level. You j ust have to use it differently. A man is no stronger that his weakest point, to obvious rule is to find that wea kest point and direct the attack right there. You will readily see that the main thing to be accomplished is to elude the vigilance of the conscious mind. There are many ways of doing this - the thing to do is to find out the best way. If o ne way does not work, try another. If you keep at it you will win eventually. Fai nt heart never won fair lady. It can be done if it is gone about properly. Never take No for an answer. Pursue the same plan in business that you would if yo u were courting the girl you loved. In the latter case, a No or two, or a dozen fo r that matter, would not count. Pursue the same tactics in your business, and yo u will win the day. Fortune is feminine, you know, and possesses all of the char acteristics of the sex. When you must have something, Demand. Do not ask. When you ask, you empower the person you are asking to say no. He who has a firm will, says Goethe, molds the world to himself. , People do not lack strength, says Victor Hugo; they lack Will. When the mind is properly strengthened by the impulse of the will it becomes a m ore powerful transmitter of thought, because it has more force. The ability to concentrate is strength of mind. You concentrate at the moment wh en you say, I want to, I can, I will, I must . Proper concentration is a state of mental quiet, where there is peace of mind. W here there is harmony between the conscious and subconscious mind. The concentra tion is partly conscious and partly subconscious. There is a balance between ten sion and relaxation. Concentration is sustained focus. You can concentrate better when your psychic e nergy is freed up for the task at hand. That means your mind is fresh for the ta sk because you have resolved other things that needs to be settled.

Sustainable focus for work follows a rhythm of relaxed focus and concentrated fo cus. Work in waves between total concentration and total relaxation, cycling man y times per day. Consistency of intention is the key to increasing power in anything. When you fo cus on something consistently over time, the more intense it gets and the more p owerful it becomes in affecting reality. Being consciously attentive and holding your mind to one thing at a time. The co ncentration is a quieting of the mind and shutting out every other distracting u seless mental activity so that there is full power directed. Silence and still a ll other unnecessary thought vibrations in your mind and attenuate the one you a re focusing on. You should also be able to drop the thing you are doing and focu s on the next thing immediately. Being unattached gives you the ability to drop whatever it is you are focusing u pon at the moment and focus on something new. It makes you able to switch your c oncentration from one thing to another. It keeps your consciousness in flow and not fixed at any spot so it can be free and spontaneous in experiencing unfoldme nt. A child instinctively but unconsciously knows when he needs help, he must be qui et and concentrate. How can you get anything by merely wanting it? Through concentration you can get anything you want. Every desire can be gratified. But whether it is, will depen d upon you concentrating to have that desire fulfilled. Power to him who power e xerts. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Silent reserved Power is most Potent Posted by Enoch Tan - Share this article with friends! Print This Post P rint This Post Silent, concentrated thought is more potent than spoken words, for speech distra cts from the focusing power of the mind by drawing more and more attention to th e without. There is no power so potent as the silent, reserved power. So keep your own coun sel, and do not scatter and weaken your force by talking about it to others - fa r less by boasting about it. The secret of great people is their belief in themselves and in their inherent p ower, in their faculty to concentrate on the work in hand, when they are working , and in their ability to prevent leaks of power when they are not working. They believe in themselves, and make every effort count. Your village wise man spill s his wisdom on every corner, and talks to a lot of fools; when if he really wer e wise he would save up his wisdom and place it where it would do some work. The brilliant writer does not waste his wit upon every corner; in fact, he shuts th e drawer in which he contains his wit, and opens it only when he is ready to con centrate and get down to business. The captain of industry has no desire to impr ess you with his shrewdness and smartness. He never did, even when he was young. While his companions were talking and boasting, and blowing, this future successfu l financier was sawin wood and sayin nuthin . Give your best to each thing you do, knowing that plenty of more good things are in you ready for the fresh tasks that will come. Put the best of yourself into the undertaking on hand, and do not cheat the present task in favor of some futu re one. Your supply is inexhaustible. And don t waste your good stuff on the crowd of gapers, watchers and critics who are standing around watching you work. Save

your good stuff for your job, and don t be in too much of a hurry for applause. S ave up your good thoughts for copy if you are a writer; save up your bright scheme s for actual practice, if you are a business man; save up your wisdom for occasi on, if you are a statesman; and, in each case, avoid the desire to scatter your pearls before - well, before the gaping crowd that wants to be entertained by a f ree show. In order to speak wisely you must secure at least a partial concentration of the faculties and forces upon the subject at hand. Speech interferes with the focus ing powers of the mind, as it withdraws the attention to the external. You need to take time to think and not answer too quickly. It is necessary to be silent b efore you can speak wisely. Remember that the first step in concentration is to form a Mental Image of what you wish to accomplish. This image becomes a thought-seed that attracts thoughts of a similar nature. Around this thought, when it is once planted in the imagin ation or creative region of the mind, you group or build associated thoughts whi ch continue to grow as long as your desire is keen enough to compel close concen tration. The inventor has to work out his idea mentally before he produces it materially. The architect first sees the mental picture of the house he is to plan and from this works out the one we see. Every object, every enterprise, must first be me ntally created. Do you know that you are continually acting according to the images you form? If you allow yourself to mould negative images you unconsciously build a negative disposition. You will think of poverty, weakness, disease, fear, etc. Just as su rely as you think of these will your objective life express itself in a like way . Think of wealth, power, health, joy. Just what we think, we will manifest in t he external world. All through history there has always been a naysayer in every situation where gr eatness was obtained. If you tell five people of your plans for wealth and succe ss the chances are that at least two or three of them will shoot down your idea without a half a thought. Why do people do this? The answer is simple. So many p eople are beat down by the mental programming that tells us we can t succeed that they do not believe they or any one they know can reach a level of anything more than working class, or even worse, poverty. This is sad but true. It will benefit you to keep your plans for a better life to yourself while you a re growing into you position. There will be plenty of time to talk about your su ccess once it has actually taken place. The time to tell them about your goals i s after you have achieved your goals. It is not worth risking the chance of some miserable individual trying to discourage you from doing something you feel in your heart. If you keep your goals and intention statements to yourself, people are less likely to try to stop or advise you. Only reveal your intentions and go als to people who need to know or can help you realize your goals more quickly. Share your intentions with only those who you know will be supportive and encour aging. Share your mind only with people who are worthy. Do not stir up your opponents resolve to beat you. Keep them of a weak mind so th at you can overpower them with little psychic resistance. Remember, you are figh ting nothing but mind. Have your inner resolve in quiet within you. But you can allow yourself to be stirred up to increase your mental powers of resolve and co ncentration to win. Motivation from a situation is all it takes to summon your f ire and focus. A meek person is one who has great power or resources, but voluntarily limits on eself to use only a percentage of that resource or power. The meek shall inherit

Meek people don t need to show off or have the need to spen d large portions of their income to demonstrate to others that they are wealthy, powerful or high and mighty . Meek people are the kind who are willing to appear s mall and nothing fanciful in the eyes of other people. Meek people voluntarily l imit themselves to use only a percentage of their power (money) for spending, so that they can store up great reserves of power (savings) and use it to inherit the earth (invest in acquiring property, business territory and other forms of a ssets). +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Power and Responsibility bring each other Posted by Enoch Tan - Share this article with friends! Print This Post P rint This Post In everything we do, we either progress or regress. With great power comes great responsibility, but the reverse is true for with great responsibility comes gre at power. Responsibility is power. Taking responsibility is taking control. When you take responsibility, you gain power. When you do not take responsibility, y ou are giving away your power to something or someone else. To become more respo nsible is to grow. All growth is progress. All work assists in development. We never stand still. Every time we accomplish something it gives us ability to do greater things. The bigger the attempt under taken, the greater the things accomplished in the future. This is a good idea to keep always in mind. When you are uncertain whether you should do something or not, just think whether by doing it you will grow or deteriorate, and act accord ingly. Every achievement is a platform for even greater achievements. Put in you r best effort in the current work you are doing so that you can build a better f oundation to be better equipped for what comes later. Slowness in Making Decisions. This is a weakness of Will Power. You know you sho uld do something, but you delay doing it through lack of decision. It is easier not to do a certain thing than to do it, but conscience says to do it. The vast majority of persons are failures because of the lack of deciding to do a thing w hen it should be done. Those that are successful have been quick to grasp opport unities by making a quick decision. This power of Will can be used to bring cult ure, wealth and health. By making quick decisions on little things you will acqu ire the ability to make quick decisions in bigger things. Never procrastinate. D ecide quickly one way or the other even at the risk of deciding wrong. Lack of Perseverance is nothing but the lack of the Will To Do. It takes the sam e energy to say, I will continue, as to say, I give up. Just the moment you say the latter you shut off your dynamo, and your determination is gone. Every time you allow your determination to be broken you weaken it. Don t forget this. Just the i nstant you notice your determination beginning to weaken, concentrate on it and by sheer Will Power make it continue on the job. Strengthening Decisions will grad ually increase our power while Weakening Decisions will gradually decrease it. Every time you do not do what you decided to do because of fear, worry or anxiet y, you weaken your will and hence your mind. Every situation is merely a test of your will and mind. You either advance in power or decline. The decision at the time it is made is strong because the thoughts and emotions that lead one to ma ke the decision are strong at the time. It is the lapse of time that weakens a d ecision. If the thoughts are kept strong, the decision remains, and the will gro ws stronger instead of weaker. Learning to use your will is as important as developing your intellect. The man that has not learned how to use his will rarely decides things for himself, but allows his resolutions to be changed by others. He fluctuates from one opinion t

o another, and of course does not accomplish anything out of the ordinary, while his brother with the trained will takes his place among the world s leaders. The good things of the world are not the portion of any favored sons. They belon g to all, but they come only to those who are wise enough to recognize that the good things are theirs by right, and who are sufficiently courageous to reach ou t for them. None but the brave deserves the fair. The more confident you are of receiving it - the more will you use in reaching out for it - the surer you will be to obtain it. You must awaken to a realization that you are merely asking for your own, and no t for something to which you have no right or claim. So long as there exists in your mind the last sneaking bit of doubt as to your right to the things you want , you will be setting up a resistance to the operation of the Law. You may deman d as vigorously as you please, but you will lack the courage to act, if you have a lingering doubt of your right to the thing you want. If you persist in regarding the desired thing as if it belonged to another, inst ead of to yourself, you will be placing yourself in the position of the covetous or envious man, or even in the position of a tempted thief. In such a case your mind will revolt at proceeding with the work, for it instinctively will recoil from the idea of taking what is not your own - the mind is honest. But when your realize that the best the Universe holds belongs to you as a Divine Heir, and t hat there is enough for all without your robbing anyone else; then the friction is removed, and the barrier broken down, and the Law proceeds to do its work. You don t find this trouble with children as a rule. They instinctively recognize that nothing is too good for them. They want all that is in sight to play with, and they seem to feel that the things are theirs by right. And that is the condi tion of mind that we seekers after the Divine Adventure must cultivate. Unless w e become as little children we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Increasing Your Power to the Highest Level Posted by Enoch Tan - Share this article with friends! Print This Post P rint This Post Faith is an action. The more you physically take steps in the direction of your desire, the more you vibrate in harmony with it and the more it will become your reality. The more you use your power, the more it increases and the more powerful you bec ome. Every obstacle conquered, every victory gained, will give you more faith in your power, and you will have greater ability to win. Every little success you experience increases your belief in self. The key to power is belief in self, wh ich is confidence. Sometimes the reason why you keep finding yourself unable to make much progress is because you constantly set yourself in situations that adv ersely affect your belief in self. Stop playing in those difficult situations an d start playing in easier ones instead. Do not think that easier situations are not worth your time. In fact, you might not realize it but that is where you draw your power from. When you fail in more challenging situations, easier situations can help you regain your power. Alway s take advantage of situations that are easy, to build up your belief in self be fore moving on to conquer more difficult ones. Do not treat easy situations ligh tly but to focus on fully dominating them. When you dominate easier situations y ou gain the mental ability to dominate more challenging ones. Confidence helps you to win and winning gives you confidence. Things can work on e way and the other way. The key is to build up confidence. Always move from the

small to the big, from the slow to the fast, from being more cautious to being more bold. This is the secret of making optimal progress. It is back to masterin g the basics. The natural way of progress. Confidence is everything. The key is to be in the frequency or state of confiden ce, accuracy and resilence. Think confidence in order to be confident. Think acc uracy in order to be accurate. Think resilence in order to be resilent. in order to be In battle, morale is crucial to victory or defeat. Your experience in eve ry moment depends mainly on the frequency or state you are in. All you have to d o is to remember the desired frequency and get back into it. When you refine your actions in an easier situation, you set yourself up to hand le more challenging ones effectively. The place to hone and retrain all your ski lls is in the easier situations. When you have that feeling of dominating in eas ier situations, you can take that feeling and handle challenging ones more power fully. It makes you feel like you can dominate any situation. It makes you feel on top of things. Things are easy because you make them easy for you. The time to exert your power most of all is in the face of dominant people who u se their power upon you in ways that are not according to your best interests an d benefits. When you do not exert your power against evil dominant influences, y ou will weaken it. Do not fear them, do not let them intimidate or dominate you. Assert yourself and even cast them out of your world with expressed forcefulnes s of your will and fire if you have to. In so doing you regain control of your r eality and establish yourself as the dominant force. When you take care of the l ittle things, the big things take care of themselves. When you use your power to subdue small problems, the big ones wouldn t even exist. Hold your mind on what you are doing, no matter what it is. Keep a careful watch over yourself, for unless you do your improvement will be very slow. When you a re in a situation where your actions have immediate control in its outcome, you should concentrate on what you are doing and do it as well as you can. When a si tuation is outside of your immediate control and there is nothing you can do to physically act upon it, you should concentrate on thinking the right thoughts, i magine what you desire to happen and mentally will it to happen. Here is the secret of Control. What you can control you should control, what you cannot control, you should let go and let God. Trust God and everything will be under control. You must learn to exercise control in the way you use super glue. If you screw u p with super glue, you get stuck and you can t do anything. Control is the same wa y: you get stuck with it, and it sticks you to something that you don t need to be stuck to. You must be very selective about what you decide to control or not co ntrol. Control is a two way thing. When done intelligently, you can attain and s ecure what you want. What done incorrectly, it can create and perpetuate somethi ng less than wanted. So therefore choose to control when it is appropriate to co ntrol, and at other times choose to be allowing, let go, and let things run thei r course. Controlling when you exercise control and when you choose not to contr ol, is how you shape and mold your reality in a way that is according to the Mas ter s Control. Work when you work, and play when you play. When you give yourself up to pleasure you can develop concentration by thinking of nothing else but pleasure; when you r mind dwells on love, think of nothing but this and you will find you can devel op a more intense love than you ever had before. Goal setting, focusing on one thing at a time, perseverance and persistence are simply intention, focus, concentration and will.

When you know the single principle that unifies all uses of mental power, it inc reases your understanding and ability to use them exponentially. Knowing that al l is mental gives you unlimited power. Mental power seems an unreal power becaus e it is intangible but the greatest powers in the universe are invisible powers. Everyone has mental power over reality but you have the greatest power over your own reality. When you realize that, all power is in your hands. When you linked yourself with thoughts of omnipotence, you will kill out entirel y your belief in your limitations and at the same time will drive away all fear and other negative and destructive thought forces which constantly work against you. Being conscious that you are all powerful makes you all powerful indeed. All limits are mental. The only thing stopping you is the mind. The only thing t hat can free you is the mind. You are the mind. You are the one restricting or l iberating yourself. All obstacles are mental blocks. Ordinary measures get you ordinary results at best. For extraordinary results, y ou need to take extraordinary measures. To be exceptional, you need to be the ex ception. Remember there are no rules, there are no limits. When you can remove the limits of a thing in your mind, anything is possible for you and you can do it more po werfully than anyone else. All power is meant to serve love. All power is for the expression of love. Power is only a means to an end. The end is love. Power alone is meaningless. Love it self is everything. Out of love comes power, where there is no power. Love desir es to be realized. The desire of love to be realized is the power within love se eking to manifest. The greater the love, the greater the desire and the greater the power that can be manifested. All it takes is the right belief to unleash the full power of tha t love s desire into realization. This is the power of love. Nothing but intense love will enable you to surmount the many obstacles placed i n your path. Nothing but that love will enable you to bear the burdens of the ta sk. The more desire you have for a thing, the more you love it. And the more you love it, the greater will be the attractive force exerted toward its attainment , both within you and outside of you.
